Defiance: The Game

I had that same thing when patching pre launch. First update was fine. Checked a few hours later to see if servers were working, got the infinite patch loop and corrupted patch error message. Just deleted everything and downloaded. Haven't had that problem since.

Servers are being turned off now for maintaince/updating(0645). No idea how long they will be down for. After getting the 6min warning, was wondering if I could finish off another side mission in time

More options become available as you level up. Main loadout is mainly for PvE, will adjust the 2nd for PvP. Daily challenges are available, mainly to boost friendly ratings with the vendors which then Gives you access to better stat guns.

I got disconnected from live as well, was just terrible timing. Was on a co op mission so was in a seperate level. Rejoined back in the overworld part of the game, kept all the loot from the raid but not the final bit for killing the boss. Another minute and the boss would have been dead

You get the first co op level after you have done a certain early story mission. Think its kin and kinship. Have to rescue some hostages I believe. Then you unlock more co op as your rank rises/do story quests. Just unlocked 2nd co op mission.

Seen some new enemies and require a different tactic, they have a character who is a healer, have to kill them off first.

Will join your game when you are on next, more fun with a group of people involved

Think you will get all the different types of enemies in the ark fall missions as you progress through the map. Just mutants or hellbugs early on. there is another 3 or 4 different types of enemies you haven't encountered yet

Really enjoyed that last night. Was a bit overwhelmed by how much there is to do, so did a bit of exploring, a couple of side missions, a few main missions (I quite like how people doing quests in the same area count towards the quest goal) and started the episode quest line. Also did a huge arc fall which was really epic!

Realised as i was logging off that you have to 'equip' your perks after spending talent points on them, as a total noob i though that buy 'talents' worked in a similar way to other MMO's where once you buy them they're either passive or active and theyre yours to use freely. Doh!

The game is surprisingly light on telling you stuff sometimes and over-the-top hand holding in others.

Does anyone know how to claim the arc-code rewards (the 120 code thing from the site) and also my limited edition shotgun? /claim (like in other mmos) doesn't work.

Overworld missions phase nicely: Fletch helped me do a mission (he could actually complete objectives for me) without having the mission himself. We then stumbled across a chap doing another and we helped him finish - sometimes you get a 'phase change' query: think that moves you into the 'dimension' of nearby players so it all syncs properly.

Anyone on 360 who hasn't, add me - RedSparrows. Could do with more people to drive around with!

Doing the side quests usually give you random mods, think at the lower levels you can't use them just yet. But you may get higher level mods than the ones you can buy in the shops. So may be best leaving the side quests alone at the start because mods take up in entity space as well and you may not have any mod style weapons

Some weapons you can't mod, some have available mod slots for all 4 items, some just have one or two slots

you can add mod slots to a weapon. Max is still 4 mod slots. So I had a machine gun which could only use the barrel mod. Added 3 more slots for stock,sight and magazine.

You pay for mod slots by using the Ark Salvage (green currency you loot). Take about 10mins to add a mod slot. Adding a mod to your weapon happens straight away and doesn't cost anything. If short of ark salvage you can always breakdown the gun into resources on the modding screen.

To get the better weapons need to do the challenges which unlock at level 250. Then you get a friendly level score with each vendor. Need that level as well as money for some weapons. Vendor was selling a LMG with plenty of different stats last one was 200% melee damage for 5 seconds after being self revived.

I was curious about where my delivery was, as it's projected tomorrow so I'm not expecting it today at all. I just wondered if it was in a depot in Scotland. Amazon doesn't have that info though, but did give a tracking number and the couriers company, Hermes.

So I went to their site and tried my tracking number. Turns out it's not in the depot in Edinburgh as I was expecting. It's in my house That also means no more parcel updates. Sorry about those, but thanks for tolerating them!

So I'll be on tonight. Any other PC people got a guild on the go yet, or will I do it? I know there's definitely an in-game cost, but I don't mind paying it once I can afford it. Or we could find an existing guild and all join that - I may check the official forums and maybe Rock Paper Shotgun to see if they have one as they're a good bunch.

@fletch7100 Yeah if it looped once more I would have deleted all the patches.Funny thing was I had already downloaded everything and played a few missions ok the day before.It was the latest patch that seemed to screw things up with crit errors and a downloading loop.

Those who are not used to this type of thing with MMO's will get frustrated quickly.It is just weird seeing it happen on console,where as on pc you just accept it.

Anyone else had an issue where sometimes the last item you need to interact with doesn't activate? Logging in and out seems to cure it and thanks to the checkpoints being quite close to objectives it's not a big deal but it has happened more than a few times to me now.

Also had some issues with the first co-op map, first time we spawned in with no enemies in the entire map. Second time I spawned right in front of the final room, one boss later and it was done. Really odd.

But just to balance out the minor negativity - cruising around and blowing shit up is fun.

About the lack of ammo at ark falls, played a minor one this morning 3 ammo caches round the crystal

Yesterday I ran out of ammo, so thought well if I die I will go back to the extraction point refill at the ammo there, then use the goto friend option(RedSParrow) to spawn back at the Arkfall. Problem was I couldn't die, none of the hellbugs would attack me. Was standing underneath the Monarch bug punching it, and it just ignored me. took ages to die

So instead drive to nearest ammo cache then use the goto friend spawn option for a quicker return journey
